History

Château La Gontrie is a wine producing château, owned by Jean-Louis Rives and his Australian wife, Nola. Both, fluent in english, they are always happy to answer your questions and help you to find the best way to visit the region.

The sixteen hectare vineyard is situated on a gentle slope exposed to the south, only fifteen minutes drive from Bordeaux.

The house was once a coach house where horses were changed and passengers lodged overnight on their way to Bordeaux. There are 4 recently renovated cottages called: le Pigeonnier, les Grands Mères and le Magnolia.
